Abel Resino Gómez (born 2 February 1960), sometimes known as just Abel, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and a current coach. Nicknamed ''El Gato'' (The Cat) due to his reflexes,〔(Abel Resino, esencia rojiblanca (Abel Resino, ''rojiblanca'' essence) ); El Mundo Deportivo, 4 February 2009 〕 he played most of his professional career at Atlético Madrid. For roughly one year, starting in early 2009, he also coached the club, helping it qualify once for the Champions League. Over the course of ten seasons, nine of those with Atlético, Abel appeared in 264 games in La Liga. ==Playing career== Born in Velada, Province of Toledo, Abel arrived at Club Atlético de Madrid in 1982 from lowly CD Ciempozuelos after also having represented local CD Toledo, but would have to wait five years (four of those spent with the reserve side, only managing to be first-choice in his third season) to become a starter. He went on to amass over 300 overall appearances for the club, helping to back-to-back Copa del Rey trophies. Abel held the record for the longest clean sheet in La Liga at 1,275 minutes, finally being beaten by Luis Enrique of Sporting de Gijón on 19 March 1991. This record was also the European record in a single season until 2009, when Edwin van Der Sar from Manchester United broke it against Fulham. Leaving the ''Colchoneros'' precisely before the team's double conquest in 1996, Abel closed out his career at the age of 36 after one season with Madrid neighbours Rayo Vallecano, helping it retain its top division status. He played in two 1991 friendlies with Spain, the first being on 27 March in a 2–4 defeat to Hungary〔(La selección casi dió lástima (National team was nearly pityful) ); El Mundo Deportivo, 28 March 1991 〕 and the second with Romania the following month.〔(De nuevo vencidos y sin gloria (Again beaten hopelessly) ); El Mundo Deportivo, 18 April 1991 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Abel Resino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
